QUOTE(utellme @ Jan 16 2006, 04:36 PM) Yes, I heard that Pana prj is shorted bulb live, but with extra bulb u can easily push up to 3000 - 3500 hrs. Merely for watching DVD movies, 3000 hrs can last me at least 10-15 yrs. My current cheapo BenQ prj 2 yrs now,only done 318 hrs yesterday.  Where exactly is the shop running this promotion? Is it the one in Pudu called Musical Image?

i just splurged on a cambridge azur 640c cd player.. there goes S$730  i made sure it was the version 2 with the 2 wolfson dacs. i was not intending to buy this cd player.. went to the shops with the NAD player in mind, but when i asked them to do a side by side shootout, no contest whatsoever.. the NAD 542 was paired with the C352 amp, the Azur 640c with the Azur 640A amp. after a while, the separates got interchanged to pair NAD with Cambridge and vice versa. speakers used were Wharfdale 9.1, Elac (cant remember which model) and Quad 11L (note all bookshelves as thats all i can even think of affording right now) the azur sounded much more detailed and full bodied. soundstage seems a tad wider and bass is a whole lot tighter. female voices sounded particularly sexy haha! the hell freezes over cd, wow. makes everything sound much better than my dinky ol marantz cd5400. all in all, i would say the best combo had to be the azur amp and cd player. surprisingly, the Azur cd player and the NAD amp sounded better than the NADs being paired together.. better synergy i suppose. damn this hobby.. seriously.

Decent pwr amp.... eerr... U can try NAD C272 but it is slightly above ur bgt. It retails at abt RM3K. owenong, For abt RM6K to RM8K, u can get decent home theatre sys. Denon AV amp or Yamaha AV amp, AE HT spkr package or Wharfedale spkr package. These are good for every single cent. Klipsch? It wld be too costly to have its spkr package. Bulb? I think u r talking abt valve amp. It is for stereo.

A ctr spkr will be abt RM1.5K. The front esp floorstander wld be somewhere abt RM4-6K per pair. A sub (12") wld be abt RM4K. All in all is abt RM13K+ (after nego). If not mistaken, it's Synergy series.
